my golf drives at parklands golf club driving range with my Cleveland Hibore XLS 10.5′ reg on the course i can reach up to around 260 – 280 yards MAX… however on the range here they use restricted flight balls to restrict golf ball flight so golf balls dont get lost over the back of the range…. I played my best round the other day (actually the day i filmed this) at 4 over par… please give me any tips or views… cheers.

you did not shoot 4 over you liar with a swing like that more like 15 over at best sorry but true.
and believe ma i know what i am talking about i play off scratch.:)
since this i have improved a lot and got some newer clubs, improved my swing (A LOT) etc.
and i did shoot 4 over par that day… i will probably not do it again for a long time, but i did… i seemed to not hit a bad shot all day…
you lift your whole body at impact
U come way over the top on the downswing – are u sure you’re hitting a draw? No offense mate but i doubt very much you’re hitting it 260… at best 210-220 with that swing speed. Concentrate on fundamentals and not coming over the top on the downswing!!!
If your hitting the ball dead straight with that slightly closed stance your most definitely coming over the top. Try swinging out to “right field” and the ball should turn quite a bit IF your releasing the club properly. I’m a 4 handicaper.
if you hit the ball 280(which i doubt) you should play stiff shafts. it looks like you would hit it more like 240 yds no offence.
i have just switched to a taylormade burner 9.5, stiff shaft… and have been having lessons with that and its going well…
i’ll hopefully have a video up soon
way across the line
Just because someone dosen’t have an amazing swing, dosen’t mean they can’t reach a certain level. Have you seen the short game? putting? course management skills ?
Keep going, work the fundamentals, work the mind, focus on process and the results will come.
I play with guys that out drive me daily, yet I break 80 and they don’t….
260 would be possible even on a what we might thing of a “messy” swing. I want you all to type in Jim Furyk Swing…Does leaving the line fit your “perfect” swing? Watch GOLF channel there is a com about how there are good looking swings and there are bad swings. none are the same but one is YOU. He could draw it if the shaft isn’t right I.E. Snap hook. you tend to draw too much if you have too stiff a shaft…slice if the shaft is too loose and flex leaves it open.
nice swing but y is ur body lenning towards right and camera holder stinks lol
KyotE48, you are wrong about the shaft flexes. If it is too stiff, you will hit a low push-fade. If it is too flimsy, you will hook the piss out of it because on your downswing the shaft flexes toward the ball. not away from it like it may seem it would.
my advice is to not take any advic from anyone one but ur swing coiach
its all about finding the slot from the top.
I agree! Everyone has different meanings, stick to one person (a coach) and do what he/she says! Good luck
your reaching for the ball just a tiny bit too much. Bring your hands in a little closer to your legs. other then that you have nice tempo and a good swing.
On your back swing cep your left are as striet as you can.
i think you should try to get more inside out instead of upside out
I agree with the flex issue. I hit my drives on average 320 yards, i am pga pro btw. I have a swing speed that of 5mph slowere than tigers, and i was using stiff for a while. but then it snapped!! so i got custom fitted and got xs. and now they are flying baby. go get custom fitted
there is no problem. who cares wat ur swing looks like. u seem to hit a slight draw on ur drives and that is a good thing cause u will get more roll.
i dont take any advice from any1 but myself,i learned by myself i became better by myself itll stay that way
you are swinging “over the top” try not swinging so hard and leading the downswing with a hip turn…….. but it looks like you are trying to swing too hard
hibore
you go pretty far inside on the take away.
also you kinda cast the club (unhinge the wrists early)
so you have a swing speed of 5mph less than tigers ??
and tiger averages 298 yards
therefore it is impossible for you to average 320
go and study some physics before posting bullcrap on the internet
